For podcast #87, I invited Alessia Alfieri to join me at their automation facility. Alessia is a Project Manager at Ethos Automation Inc. located in Brantford, Ontario. She has worked in Tier 1 Automotive industry where she met her now new boss, Peter Botros.

Alessia, welcome to the podcast, thanks for joining us.

Here are some of my interview questions:

Was there an influence in your life that led you to engineering? Were you just good at all the STEM subjects?

Did your co-op experiences help you define your interests more clearly or help you figure out what you DIDN’T want to do?

So how does being a Project Manager differ from other engineering jobs you’ve held in past?

As a woman in male-dominated profession and workplace, can you talk about some of the challenges you may have had?

What advice would you have for young women considering entering engineering? Manufacturing?

What about ETHOS made you want to work there?

When you are not saving the world what do you like to do?

How can people get a hold of you?

If you would like to find out more information on Ethos Automation, you can reach out to Alessia on her LinkedIn profile.

Enjoy the podcast. Thanks for subscribing, thanks for listening.

Regards,

Jim
